The 2022 Savatiano is unoaked, very dry and comes in at 12.2% alcohol. Right on track with what I've been seeing lately, this is pure and unadorned on the finish, with mouth-coating texture and persistence. While it shows off supporting acidity and some grip, its slightly unctuous demeanor in its youth incorporates the acidity well and avoids anything jarring. The question I always have with these is whether it is worth holding them. I've seen some older vintages hold very well (like the 2015 seen about two years back), but I'm never sure there are a lot of advantages to holding them. As my enthusiasm increases, so do expectations. Still, this is so exuberant, so intense in its youthful purity that I have to lean up for the moment. It is a nice and sometimes exceptional follow-up to last year's version. Don't hesitate to dive in while this is young, but there is probably no rush. I like to be cautious, but it will likely hold well longer than indicated.
